I think, its because most people In India use Cyber Cafes, where you get only outdated PC's running XP (sometimes Windows 98) & IE 6.

Some workers in Cyber Cafes don't really know of FF or Chrome. They just think IE is the only way to surf internet.

You are kidding me right? Most of the Cyber Cafes use very powerful machine to support games like Crysis. That's why Cyber Cafes exists and popular.

But there are also cheap Cyber Cafes, which their system really sucks. People can not afford a computer go there, and they don't really care what a browser is.

I'm almost surprised they don't run old computers as thin clients/remote x terminals connected to charitable server farms running in The West.
